The Common Room / Re: McGrath Tea Company
« on: Friday 31 January 14 23:56 GMT (UK)  »
When you say bit that sums up the amount of info on the world wide web. The original McGrath Brothers tea company was established over 200 years ago and was bought up somewhere along the way. I know other researchers who are trying to find the same information but to no avail.

I never met my grandfather as he died young from wounds received during WW1.

Cork / Re: McGrath, William born 1745

I have been researching my McGrath's for over 20 years and have spent many an hour at the Nova Scotia Archives and have found amazing facts on their early days but never that one piece of info that would tie them to a parish in Ireland. I believe that many of the families originate from the same spot in Ireland. They were all RC, single & about 20yrs old when they landed here. William here is the exception. Dungarvan, Waterford County seems to be the core town of origin.

I should have emphasized that I have over 200 pages in my family tree for William McGrath. My road block is finding the connection in Ireland. This is true for all but one of the Irish families I am researching. In most cases I can get to the County and maybe the parents but no farther. Many were born circa 1750 to 1810 and settled in Cape Breton or Nova Scotia 1790 to 1830 but the majority were born circa 1800 and settled in Cape Breton 1818/19. There are four families of McGrath with 10,000 plus descendants in Canada, USA & Australia. My interrelated families are: Hearn, Doyle, Keating, Kehoe, Kavanagh, Kiely, Kenny, Power, Britten & Flynn.

Cork / McGrath, William born 1745
« on: Thursday 30 January 14 14:37 GMT (UK)  »
William McGrath was born abt. 1745 in County Cork, Ireland. He immigrated to the British Colony of Pictou, Nova Scotia in 1790 with his Three sons:
John McGrath b. abt. 1769
Thomas McGrath b. abt. 1771
William McGrath b. abt 1773
They sailed from the port of Youghal, County Cork
I don't have the name of William's wife. I am hopeing that there is a McGrath researcher who may have these individuals in their family tree.
